"Rabid Grannies" is simply about a grab bag of estranged, wealthy relatives who visit two old broads for their birthday. After the arrival of a mysterious box, the old biddies transform into a pair of demons who begin killing off each of the family members...
Can't call this the best thing to ever be released by Troma Entertainment, but it's a decent "Evil Dead" knock-off. The effects are nothing to shit yourself over, but there's plenty of splattery gore on tap - just make sure you see it in it's uncut form. Butchered version ain't worth a shit! There's some funny stuff, like a fat dude getting his ass chewed apart (literally) as well as a pretty ballsy child murder/dismemberment. One thing - I'm not sure why the hell it's called "Rabid Grannies". There's no hint of rabies, whatsoever. It should've been called "Possessed Grannies" or, maybe, "Demonic Hags" would have been good...
So, again, entertaining flick. Not entirely a comedy, as the title asserts, though it still doesn't take itself too seriously. Fun gore-fest.
